Divine your future! Lose your shirt! All in one box!

In the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, the Harrow™ deck has long been a sacred tool of Varisian fortunetellers. In skilled hands, the Harrow deck can predict crop results, divine the gender of your unborn child, or give hints about your immediate future. In unskilled hands, the Harrow deck is a sacrilegious gambling game—a cutthroat diversion for ruffians in every port to lose their hard-earned fortunes.

Harrow will be featured throughout the second Pathfinder Adventure Path, Curse of the Crimson Throne. At least once in each installment, players may divine their futures with the Harrow deck, and Pathfinder #7 contains an in-depth article about the history of Harrow and its in-game use.

Harrow is also a standalone card game designed by Jason Bulmahn, Mike Selinker, and Teeuwynn Woodruff for use inside or outside the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting. Harrow is lavishly illustrated by Kyle Hunter, the artist behind Downer: Wandering Monster and Downer: Fool's Errand, the Paizo Comics compilations of Kyle's original Downer comics from Dungeon magazine.

    Harrow contains:
  • One 54-card deck illustrated by Kyle Hunter
  • Five chronicle cards to aid in divination
  • One rulebook with divination rules and card game rules

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Gorgeous
Reviewer: Illessa

Put me in the converted camp, I was rather dubious about the art but it's lovely and *very* evocative, with many cards that are moving, disturbing (Mute Hag anyone?) or just plain hilarious. Sure there's a modern edge (and perhaps The Keep is pushing it, but it gets away with it on amusement value), but if anything it simply enhances the colourful, mystical stained-glass sort of look and all the little details provide a wealth of reading interpretation fodder.
The booklet is well-written and the card interpretations are vague enough to make excellent starting points to build your reading on. I haven't tried Towers yet, but it looks like one of those simple card games that gets infuriatingly addictive and competitive, I'll try it out with my CotCT group some time.
My only complaint is that I would have preferred plain card-backs to the fortune-teller graphic. Particularly as a roleplaying tool it would look much more effective, but that's a minor problem with an overall great product.

Reviewer: Kryptonian Scion

I cannot say much more than what has been said previously. I was skeptical, not being the biggest Downer fan, but the art on these cards is very sexy and well done.

My only complaint is that the backs of the cards, instead of being elegantly simple, have the HARROW logo and box art picture of the fortune teller on them. It's a little jarring when trying to create an immersive atmosphere for a reading.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Excellent new tarot
Reviewer: Aritz Cirbián

Easy to learn, easy to use!

Wonderfully illustrated by Mr Hunter, you can use it in your games to give subtile clues, as a gambling way to make PCs economy funnier, or in real life as a Tarot alternative!

Really recommended, it's worth every cent of it!

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Excellent. Art was better than I was expecting.
Reviewer: Blackdragon

I bought this deck for my wife (She does real Tarot) and was pleasantly surprised at the art work. I've never been a fan of Downer, but the cards are great. More Importantly, the Divining system uses Key character abilities and alignments which makes it a truly unique system. I can't wait to see how it works out in game play.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Art Better Than Downer
Reviewer: Karelzarath

For those, like myself, put off by the art of Downer, the Harrow deck is amazingly better. The cards are anything but cartoony and excellently invoke the dark mood of a harrowing. If you were giving this product a pass because of the art, you have nothing to fear.

Mechanically, the harrowing readings couldn't be easier. Each card has clues to guide you during the interpretation and the art provides an excellent prompt in the reading. Using the deck to build or flesh out adventures is pure genius. I look forward to trying this out during prep for my next session!

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar ironic twist
Reviewer: andrew berthiaume

I love the harrow deck. Bound to spice my game up. Very first use utterly foreshadowed the trouble in Foxglove manor for one pc after he asked if he was well liked then drew the betrayal card as his focus card. Very well made guys

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Awesome!
Reviewer: Michael Chu

Props that tie into the the game are the best idea ever! Keep them coming, Paizo. I'm not waiting for Curse of the Crimson Throne! It's going straight into Rise of the Runelords.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Beautiful
Reviewer: Ross Byers (Assistant Software Developer)

The art on this thing is absolutely beautiful. And it looks like a fun party trick, too.

I remember very much enjoying the use of Ravenloft's Tarokka deck as a player, so I'm looking forward to this.

Ok, show some. :)

Really, perhaps show one of the card's art in a blog post or something. This would be great to see.

Is this anything like the Three Dragon Ante Character Creation Article featured in one of the Dragons?
